NEW YORK, March 3O.-The joint ex-
ecutivs committee of the trunk lines and

The latest idea in fairs is called the festival

sale of objects useful and decorative, more O,

January was represented by hut covered
with snow and ice. Nothing but dolls and
nursery outfits were sold there. The dolls
had tiny toboggan slide and were dressed
chiefly in tobogganing, sleighing and skating
costumes. Aplain news stand, where all the
periodicals and even the daily newspapers

wreaths stuck up through the tip Of the roof.
The June booth was miniature flower

and yachting trophies were sold In the
August booth. September, the harvest
month, was represented by the earlier fruits
and October by the later ones, nuts and
